(Jewish Group) My pictures from concentration camps.

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

Last October, I travelled to Europe. I was there for two weeks and visited several places, including Dachau, Auschwitz, and Birkenau. I have posted those pictures in DU's Photography Group.

I wanted to share.

We (the allies) were using it to house Nazis. We made them clean it.

I was an MP but my main job was to act as a translator and to type up statements.

I did my job well and fairly. But they were very aware their only translator was Jewish.

It never stops being a punch to gut to see photos like these. And I think about the places the Nazis razed like Treblinka.

Thank you for sharing them. I'm sure it was a very emotional journey for you.
